Martha's Kitchen Partners with Hunger at Home

11/24/2016

 

I have been working at Martha's Kitchen for 15 years and loving every minute of it. All this time I had often heard it mentioned as a vision — some sort of marketplace such as what Hunger at Home has achieved in such a short time. Hunger at Home bridges the gap between excess food and the needy in the community. So, after every event at its partner venues like the San Jose Convention Center, Levi's Stadium, etc. nonprofit organizations like Martha's Kitchen are notified to pick up the unserved food. 

Hunger at Home did not immediately introduce its concept to us. First, they paid us a visit. The reason - to vet us to ensure we handle food safely, i.e., according to established food safety standards. Once approved as a partner recipient, we have received regular calls and have received hundreds of tons of food.  Hunger at Home has now expanded to other surplus resources such toiletries, beddings, office equipment and almost anything useful that would otherwise end up in our landfills.  Imagine each time a downtown hotel changes its color schema. All the beddings and linens have to go. Just the very items that homeless shelters need. Ewell Sterner, founder of Hunger at Home is a visionary. Because of his vision, tens of thousands of people are able to eat, have a warm night and while helping save the landfill at the same time.

​We are proud to be a working partner of Hunger at Home.
